Basic Safety For Home Plumbing Projects

When undergoing any home improvement project there are safety issues that come into play. Potential hazards can be electrical in nature, and could cause serious injuries including burns and death. Although common sense should prevail, it doesn't always. Making sure you're aware of any potential electrical safety hazards should be the first part of any procedure, including plumbing. Sacramento residents should understand the possibility of electrical danger if they choose to perform their own plumbing projects.

Shut The Electricity Off Never assume the electricity to a piece of equipment has been shut off. Before you attempt to service anything that has an electrical component to it, disconnect it from the power supply feeding it. This could mean either unplugging it or shutting the power off at the source such as an electrical panel that uses either fuses or circuit breakers. If you do need to shut the power supply off at the panel box, be sure to put some type of warning on the box indicating that you have intentionally shut down the circuit.

Test The System Once the power supply has been cut off, test the circuit to be sure there is no power going to it. The easiest way to do this is to attempt to turn on the piece of plumbing equipment you are about to work on. If it doesn't turn on, then you can be confident that you have successfully cut off the power, and it is safe to begin plumbing. Sacramento residents and business owners need to always take this precaution when working on any system that is electrically charged.

Things to Know in Case Your Drain Gets Blocked

Oh oh. There's water all over your new bathroom rug. The toilet is leaking too.

Or...

There's water coming through the downstairs ceiling after you take a shower.

What do you do?

These are real plumbing emergencies. No time to figure out how to do it yourself or wait for your brother-in-law to get home from work. But professional plumbers are so expensive.

But so is a new rug... or floor... or ceiling. Time to act fast.

What To Do In A Plumbing Emergency

You always want to know where your main shutoff valve is for your home. If things are looking really bad that's the first thing you want to know.

If it's just your toilet overflowing you can shut off the supply line to that particular plumbing fixture. It's usually right under the toilet itself. A sink is pretty much the same way.

1. Go to Google and type in "plumber clearwater". Of course instead of Clearwater use your local town or city.

2. Look to see who offers emergency service. They should have it right on their website. They should also have a number you can call and talk to someone quickly.

3. There's probably no time to check references so judge by how quickly they answer the phone (and also how professionally).

4. Make sure they are licensed. Ask them... "What is your license number. Actually you might see it right on their website. If you don't it may not be a good sign.

If you don't get good answer to these questions or you feel uncomfortable be careful.
